Stockings for Sept and Oct

The patterns are written and handed off to the printer. We still have another proofing process to go through and then they will be printed. The projected completion date is next Friday and will ship out to the distributors then. This means they will be in the shops in about 2 - 2 1/2 weeks. Loose feathers will follow a couple of weeks after the stocking patterns. We are a little behind....but will catch up someday....not sure exactly when that will be, but we are always hopeful!

Don't forget the drawing will be on Monday morning.

Friday morning, Barb and I will leave for Spring Green, WI. We are driving to Country Sampler to teach a quilting class. The project is a long harvest table runner. Maggie Bonanomi and Stacy Nash will be there too. Hope to see you there! I think the shop will be decorated for Christmas, so we can hardly wait to see.

Love those stockings--I am thinking--I may just have to plan some time in next years quilting time to do some of the stocking--I miss doing some cross stitch and I am a big stocking fan---sooooo!!!Hugs, Di

Love the new stockings... so pretty... and hope you will have fun at Country Sampler... hope you wont have " trouble" with some friends of mine that are going...lol.. No Im sure they will act their best..:o) Im pretty envious of them!! :o)

I LOVE this stocking series. Don't worry about the delay as I am just catching up on the previous ones! I would LOVE to see a Valentine set like the Halloween set. Think about it!!! Thank you for a wonderful stitch.

Wonderful stockings, I love the little stockings, it has been so many years since I have stitched something that really I am a beginner...still... so they are fun giving gifts.Have a wonderful time in Green Spring...some day I will make one of the many events you teach at, until then I can dream.

I just love these stockings. Because of your blog and some others I just "discovered" counted cross stitch and am now addicted. I would LOVE to win these patterns. They would make very special Xmas gifts for both my mom and sister. Kristie
